The Failure of Masonry Walls by Disaggregation and the Masonry Quality Index

open access: yesHeritage, 2020
The visual method for assessment of the structural behaviour of historic masonry walls, known by the acronym MQI (Masonry Quality Index) was introduced in 2002 by a team of researchers from the University of Perugia, Italy.

Study on the enhancement coefficient of the local compressive strength improvement of masonry under a cantilever beam

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2019
Locally compressed masonry under a cantilever beam is restrained by the surrounding masonry, resulting in improved local compressive strength. The code for design of masonry structures stipulates that the enhancement coefficients of the local compressive

Experimental investigation on interlocking concrete block for masonry wall of non-engineered earthquake resistant buildings [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2020
Most of the seismic damage of existing traditional buildings is due to the absence of practical beam and column structures as the main reinforcement of the building.

Evaluation of the seismic performance of masonry walls reinforced with wooden elements [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2018
Despite the large numbers of masonry buildings in the country, limited researches are conducted to analyze their seismic responses. Evidence suggests that unreinforced masonry buildings in destructive earthquakes are sentenced to destruction.

SEISMIC RESPONSES OF RC FRAME WITH DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT OF MASONRY INFILL WALL

open access: yesTeknologi dan Kejuruan, 2015
This study presents the suitability of using macro model (strut model) for analyzing the seismic responses of single-story single-span reinforced concrete frames having different arrangement of masonry infill wall with openings by com­par­ing its results

Experimental Research on Seismic Performance of Damaged Brick Walls Strengthened with Embedded Horizontal Steel Bars

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2020
Six brick masonry specimens (two unreinforced specimens, two reinforced specimens, and two specimens reinforced after being damaged), which have different aspect ratios, were tested under low-frequency cyclic loading.

Research on the Seismic Performance of Straw Panel-Infilled Concrete Frame by Shaking Table Test

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2021
Infill wall-frame interaction-induced damage and failure have been found in many previous earthquakes due to the inappropriate estimation of the stiffness of infill walls.

Experimental Study on the Seismic Performance of Brick Walls Strengthened by Small-Spaced Reinforced-Concrete–Masonry Composite Columns

open access: yesBuildings
Through low-cycle reciprocating tests on 11 masonry wall specimens strengthened using reinforced-concrete–masonry composite columns, the effects of the position of the composite column, height-to-width ratio, column reinforcement ratio, and axial load ...

Research on Damage Characteristics of Brick Masonry under Explosion Load

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2021
As the main structural component of partition wall or load-bearing wall, brick masonry has been widely used in construction engineering. However, brick and mortar are all brittle materials prone to crack.
